Where the heck is the Great Wall?
Posted: Tue May 09, 2006 1:42 pmI was planning a flight today, which would have consisted of a great VFR trip from Beijing (which, incidentally, only wanted to do IFR traffic today 
) and then north into Mongolia, taking a little trip past the Great Wall. Unfortunately, I got to the coords specified by Google Earth and Wikipedia, but could not for the life of me actually find the Wall. I found a couple of meandering lines and rivers in nearly the same location, but no actual wall. Is this an oversite? I checked our usual FS sites for downloads, hoping to get some good references and perhaps some better views, but there was nothing here, at AVSim or FlightSim! Nada . . .
Anyone know anything about this?
